Bull Lee I never fancied Beat glamorization of heroin- the Beats I met and interacted with were Ginsberg McClure, Neal Cassady & Brautigan - I was friends with Kesey who famously said IM TOO YOUNG TO BE BEAT TOO OLD TO BE HIPPIE 007 as Burroughs brilliant. The transformative power of cinema. David Wills review Queer also excellent- I found Coppola’s On The Road to be shot by a director who didn’t understand the significance of the times and miscast the protagonists- there is always a disconnect between having been there and being square thus relying on consultants to hep them to the score
I’m completing a novella. WELCOME TOTHE JUNGLE- set on locations in Bangkok. The Beat streets of San Francisco and the exotic last frontier of Cambodia- a Beat occult road thriller

Glad you dug the reviews, Jose. And always good to pick up on your firsthand reminiscences. Keep sharing them!
